4 months ago FWIW for the last example I'm genuinely curious how many musicians would prefer to have the notes beamed together with a "partial" beam break, vs a full beam break at the barline, and whether it would significantly affect how it was performed. I'm not convinced there's any benefit in trying to beam across a time/key signature and/or clef change.
Your idea
When certain significant symbols are intersected by less important slurs, ties, lines, beams, etc. It would be better to white out the background of the symbols as a mask to make them more legible, as shown below:
Problem to be solved
Allow user to give clefs, time sigs, key sigs (and maybe other significant symbols) better looks when intersected by slurs, ties, lines, beams, etc.

Additional context
Currently in MuseScore, it is possible to creat texts with a masking background, though it is not quite intuitive. The user has to first add a frame to the text then change the border color and the fill color to white. I think maybe this can be improved? (e.g., allow the user to directly creat texts with a size-adjustable white background in one step.)
